Default Z06 test drive gone bad

This is what happens when you test drive a 500hp high performance car in cold temperatures with an inexperienced driver. Not much info released other than its a 3 car, NON fatality with serious injuries that occurred during a test drive from a local Chevy dealer. Hoping for a swift recovery for all involved.

I feel for the cars salesmen who have to get into a 505 HP, 3150 lb monster with some bloke they've never met and sit shotgun as the guy drives 'spiritedly' around the block. I would personally be frozen up with tension

Nice seats...might be a later model (2012+). Wish dealers would stop installing front license plate mounts.

People wonder why dealers wont let every yahoo that walks in the door take cars like these for "test drives"....

Hopefully that is the LAST of these events for this spring. Seems someone always fails to connect their brain to the right foot.
